Does Cummins Make the World’s Best Diesel Engines?

Ask a dozen friends, “Who makes the best pizza?” and you’re bound to get a dozen different answers. Ask a dozen experts, “Who makes the best diesel engine?” and you’ll likely hear one name more than any other – Cummins. From road to rail, water to worksite, Cummins is a world leader in diesel engine manufacturing. Here’s why…

Dependability

An engine is only as valuable as the work you get out of it. That makes uptime the most critical metric for any engine, and that’s where Cummins truly outshines the rest. Our engines are precision-crafted to resist wear and deliver a lifetime of reliable service. Legendary endurance and low maintenance are Cummins hallmarks. Many Cummins-powered trucks easily surpass the million-mile mark. When our engines do need parts or service, the Cummins network of more than 7,000 dealer and distributor locations provides the best service density in the business.

Legacy

Since our founding nearly 100 years ago, Cummins has pioneered new innovations in engine technology. Clessie Cummins launched the company in Columbus, Indiana in 1919, with a commitment to producing the finest diesel engines on the planet. From humble beginnings grew an international enterprise that today provides products and service to customers in more than 150 countries. Nearly a century spent amplifying diesel engine performance provides Cummins unmatched insight and expertise.

Innovation

At Cummins, innovation isn’t just a word; it’s ingrained in our culture, our vision, our mission and our values. From producing the first diesel-powered racecar to break the 100-mph (161-kph) barrier back in 1931, to partnering with Dodge to haul two tons more than any competitor in 1989, to meeting 2014 EPA and NHTSA greenhouse gas regulations a full year ahead of schedule across our entire on-highway product line-up, we’re always pushing the boundaries. Today, Cummins engineers around the world are developing and testing the next generation of new technologies to improve customers’ lives and productivity – including surpassing the next wave of global emissions standards.

If you haven’t experienced a Cummins diesel engine firsthand, you don’t know what you’re missing.
